Columbus Airport Shuttles at John Glenn Columbus International Airport (CMH)

Choosing a private shuttle for John Glenn Columbus International Airport (CMH) at 4600 International Gateway lets your whole group skip the expensive rideshare surge pricing and the confusing parking garages off I-670! When flying out of CMH, your driver will pull right up to the upper-level Departures curb so everyone can unload their suitcases and walk straight to ticketing together. For arrivals, charter buses stage in the designated commercial holding area off International Gateway because strict airport rules prohibit curbside idling. Once your entire group has grabbed their bags from Baggage Claim on Level 1, just text your driver to pull up to the Ground Transportation commercial zone outside the terminal doors! Flying a charter group or military unit into Rickenbacker International Airport (LCK) at 2295 John Circle Drive in Lockbourne? We cover pickups and drop-offs at LCK, Bolton Field (TZR), and OSU Airport too, so your ride is ready the moment you touch down!
